Stephen T asked:


I have a CyberPower battery backup and power surge box for my computer. The problem is when there is a bad storm and the power goes out and back on real quickly the whole system shuts down. I thought the battery backup was to stop this from happening. No lights are on the box except “power on” so there doesn’t seem to be a problem.

Why is this happening and do these boxes wear out?

HELP! Our computer backup battery is randomly giving off a loud whining noise and we can’t shut it up?

Terrab asked:


How can we shut it up? The lights blinking on it say it had an overload, and it’s online. The computer was off I think.

What’s wrong and how do we get it to stop?

Barkley Hound asked:


I know that desktop computers have a little battery that keeps the clock going for years. Since a laptop has a large battery that is constantly charging does it also have a backup battery? I would think is needs something to keep the clock going when the large battery is removed.
